To market, to market, to buy musubi.

The Hilo Farmers Market is by far the best place to get produce in this town. Prices are significantly cheaper than any supermarket here, and quality is much better. The crowds can be very heavy on Wednesdays or Saturdays so its best to go early in the morning; too late in the afternoon and the best vendors are gone.

When the stars are in perfect alignment, and we haven't stayed up late the night before theorizing about LOST, Dave and I like to arrive early with our coffee and recycled KTA bags in hand, mosey a quick lap around to check out the wares, then hit the papaya lady, the banana lady, and the pineapple guy (not literally), pick up some spinach, green onions and bell peppers when needed, and head to the back of the tent for an assortment of musubis! Dave was in heaven when he found this table! Actually, so was I, but not for their musubis. They make the best coscoran, a delicious compliment to morning coffee.
